Re: Lessons and Repertoire for "Exploring Music from Spain" @Jack Stewart I think I heard that a few may be coming. Personally, I don't think I have the chops to play anything by him. I'd love to someday, but not right now.

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Paul Kennedy Thanks for letting me know, Paul. I hadn't heard of trigger finger as a danger for guitarists, but I was wondering. All the best, and enjoy playing Irish music with your son!

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Paul Kennedy Good work and a beautiful piece, Paul! I'm sorry to hear about your finger. Just curious - do they think playing guitar is the cause (or one of the causes)?…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Wai That is a great choice! Sor has several studies for beginners. The first few studies in Op 60, Op 35, or even Op 31 would work well. The nice thing about Op 35 No 2 is that there is an…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Blaise Laflamme With this piece, I had to use the old "memorize the piece backwards" method, starting at the end and making my way to the beginning.

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Luciano Salvatore Coming along nicely, Luciano! Your hands seem very capable of doing the task, it just needs practice to make the movements fluid. Good work.

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Paul Kennedy So beautiful, Paul. I agree it just needs practice from here, but you have the hand movement down. The B section is in a tough key for the guitar! You probably already know this,…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Jack Stewart Me either. His most famous piece today seems to be Canarios (again in the Noad book), but this one was much easier! I just went to IMSLP.

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Paul Kennedy Thank you, Paul. I feel much less comfortable on the lute. It’s so easy to be on the wrong string with either my right or left hand (or both!).…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Emma Thank you, Emma. I agree the first half is better. The phrasing is clearer. I will have to work on that second half.

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Jack Stewart Yes, the lute was a total shock of a gift from my wife and kids. Not in a million years would I have guessed that was coming. If the Ballard Entre is in the Noad book,…
